Wuzzam and I were back in the Hills of Hampden, doing the Simon's Skyline 7.7-mile loop for the 3rd consecutive week.  Temperature was right at, or just barely above 50-degrees, with some sun but not too much.  The flat sections (what there are of them) were very wet and slippery due to Monday's snow and rain.

I felt pretty strong for the run, even with the bad footing, and completed this week's attempt at 1:34:42.  I believe Wuzzam was 1:30 faster as well, so we did just fine.

Taking 15-minutes off last week's time was much better than I expected.  I felt I could get under 1:40:00, but I also felt that it would be a challenge and difficult.  The sections of running were very good today, but the while the climb up 880' was a bit easier, Pine is still very, very hard (and slow).
